Apache OpenOffice User Guide

Apache OpenOffice has several components (Writer, Calc, Impress,Draw, Base...) that share many characteristics on their user interfaces. For this reason the present guide will start to talk about Apache OpenOffice as a whole, then later provide "examples" for each component.

It is important then, specially for new users, to understand the first chapters of this guide before going on to specific information for each component.

The Guide will make a liberal use of screenshots to visually display the area being documented. Because Apache OpenOffice is available on multiple operating systems these screenshots may not exactly match what the reader sees in their copy of OpenOffice.
